Special Prayer – Gram from the First Presbyterian Church of Redding

Serving Christ & Community since November 17, 1878

 In a world filled with chaos,

we pray because prayer is the antidote to anxiety

 There simply is no greater work, no greater calling,

 no greater ministry than that of intercessory prayer.

Prayer for – John Henry Humphrey (2/23/1941-4/26-2025)

John (“Jack”) Humphrey of Palo Cedro, California, passed away on 4/26/2025 in his own home of over 50 years. He was born on 2/23/1941 in Washington, D.C. to John Haggard Humphrey and Florence Miltner.  He was a PhD hydrometerologist who was highly accomplished in his field and often retained as a consultant for large urban flood studies. He served in the United States Air Force, with duty in Vietnam, and eventually retired from the reserves with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was an avid outdoorsman, and loved golfing and hiking throughout his life, also skiing and backpacking near Lake Tahoe. Jack was a quiet family man who enjoyed reading and listening to classical music. He loved to garden, and nurtured heirloom tomatoes and other vegetables often used in fresh garden salsa. Jack is survived by his wife Carol and three sons, Keith, Curtis, and Steven. He was preceded in death by his second son Benjamin.

A burial ceremony will be held at the Northern California Veterans Cemetery in Igo on Thursday, June 5th at 2:00PM, with a reception following in his home in Palo Cedro. Call 530-547-4743 for details.
